Kokatat introduced GORE-TEX® Performance Shell (formerly XCR®) to the paddling market. Our GORE-TEX® Performance Shell garments are an ideal choice for paddlers wanting top of the line technical features in an extremely breathable and durable 3-layer protective shell.

The perfect solution for paddlers wanting a paddling piece that breathes extremely well, holds up with extended use and comes standard with the essential technical features to stay dry. These remarkably lightweight garments are supple, quiet and very packable.

Kokatat bridges the gap between entry-level non-breathable coatings and high-end GORE-TEX® fabrics with TROPOS, a new waterproof, breathable, urethane coated fabric specifically designed by Kokatat for the rigors of paddlesports.

In a further expansion of the successful TROPOS waterproof/breathable fabric program, Kokatat introduces a new 3-layer fabric called T3. The lightweight tricot backer knit offers more
comfort through better wicking capability by providing a moisture management layer between the paddler and the TROPOS coating. This third layer also provides extra durability by
protecting the TROPOS coating from interior abrasion.

TROPOS Light, a soft 2 oz. nylon bonded to a waterproof, breathable coating, offers recreational paddlers protection from the wind, spray, sun and insects.
